CURTAIN-ROLLER FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part'of Letters Patent No. 296,003, dated April l, 1884i'.

Application filed December 19, 1883. (No model.)

To alwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J ONATHAN HARRIs, of Grand Ledge, in the county of Eaton and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Im# provements in Curtain-Roller Fixtures; and I4 do hereby declare that the following is a full,

y clear, and ezact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which forni a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in curtainfroller supports, and is especially designed as an improve point.

Figure l is an elevation of the curtain and fixtures, the curtain being extended to cover the whole window. Fig. 2 is a detached per f spective of the locking-hook.

i In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, A represents the curtain, B the roller, C the hook which sup` `ports one end of the curtain; and D the cord by means of which the roller is rotated to wind or unwind the curtain, these parts being constructed, arranged, and operating as described i in my aforesaid Letters Patent.

E is the locking-hook shown in Fig. 2 in two modifications, exactly alike, except in the loop or ring by means of whichfit is attached to the roller. This hook E is made from `one piece of wire, bent so as to form a loop, a, which is designed to engage with one of the bolts or hooks F, which are screwed into the vwindow-frame. Below this loop a is formed another loop, b, which may belarger or smaller,` the larger allowing it to'be sleeved upon the end of the roller and form a bearing therefor, and the smaller one engaged with the end of the roller by meaiis of a screw, by means of which the roller rotates in this bearing. The wire,after forming the loop b,is bent forward, and then at right angles, and then downwardly and back upon itself, so as to form the loop c, terminating in a V-shaped slot, d, formed by the converging portions of the wire.

In practice, when it is desired to roll up the curtain from the position shown in the drawings, it is only necessary to pull upon the cord, and when" the bottom of the curtain is at the desired height engage the cord in the V-shaped slot by the slight movement of the hand to the front or right and left. 'Io again change the position of the bottom of the curtain simply requires a slight pull upon the cord, which detaches it from its engagement and allows it to play freely through the lower part of the loop.

Vhat I claim as my invention is- 1. In combination with a curtain roller and cord, awire support forming a bearing which carries the end Vof said roller, supports the samefroin aXed point, andfurnishes a spring locking loop and slot, substantially as and for the purposes described. g

' 2. In combination with a curtain cord and roller, the looking-support E, bent from one piece of wire, Iforming the loops b c and the slot d, substantially as and for the purposes described.

JONATHAN HARRIS.
